“Magic of Thinking Big” is the book which changed my life. I still remember the day when I decided to change my field from harder Mechanical to the much softer IT. I never thought I would be coming so far. I have covered many a distance in the last 10 years. My entry to Bangalore was the turning point for me. After that I didn’t look back. Not to mention how difficult the turn was. People bunk exams, but I had to bunk an interview to create my new way. Any ways the hitches and glitches which I passed through were many but none of them matter now. What matter’s is only “What Next” and nothing else.
In the year of 2002 when most of the ".com" companies were down with the bubble burst, I got an opportunity to work in a start-up. The founders were young and wanting to make their own dent in the market. I sailed in this boat for an year. This opened up a new door for me and I was exposed to Software Product business, SME business and the markets around. At the same time this bug of “wanting to do something of my own” was chewing my mind and I was looking for different avenues and options to start. I saw an opportunity in this very Company as the founders were split and were on their own. I proposed the idea and Bingo, I was part of the new venture. This is how I became an entrepreneur.
There is no hard rule which says this is how you need to start or something like that. I had taken my first step towards my entrepreneur journey without even asking my friends or parents. I thought that was the best thing to do at that moment and I did it. Now when I look back I feel I did the right thing.
